About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

The culture of any home is determined by the parents. If you can remain unflappably calm in the face of every supermarket tantrum and sarcastic eye-roll, order will soon follow.

Here, bestselling author Paul Dix reveals how to turn even the most chaotic home into an oasis of calm – by focusing not on your children’s behaviour, but on your own. You will never need to raise your voice again.

'An absolute game-changer' Sarah Turner, aka The Unmumsy Mum
'Singularly powerful' Tina Payne Bryson, author of The Whole-Brain Child
‘How simple techniques, and a different way of thinking, can change the entire atmosphere at home.’ iNews

I bought a lot of parenting books. This is THE BOOK, the Holy Grail. ONLY practical advice, no in depth analysis of child psychology which is good but it doesn’t teach you anything. Here I found WHAT I can do, in a sense I also realised I’ve been doing somethings right. Do not think twice. I bought the Kindle version as well which is great. Highly and absolutely recommend it.

That’s THE Parenting Book

This is simply a must for anyone caring for children. It’s humble, moving, thought provoking and makes complexities of managing big emotions really simple. It will change you and your child’s future.

What a book! What a delivery!

Paul Dix's "When the Parents Change, Everything Changes" isn't marketed as a gentle/respectful parenting book, but I think it perfectly summarises the main ideas behind the philosophy of raising children with respect and kindness without losing sight of your own needs.
I most appreciated how practical the book is and how much the author focuses on providing solutions for real-life situations and issues parents face daily.
Overall, "When the Parents Change, Everything Changes" is an extremely practical and down-to-earth book full of ideas and suggestions for real-life scenarios and the usual challenges of parenting. Thank you, Paul.

Excellent and so practical.

Well structured with plenty of practical tips, backed up by experience and underpinned by a relational approach. I’m a teacher and listened because I’ve enjoyed Paul’s other work. My children are now in their 20s but I know that these approaches worked for them.

A practical guide, based on experience and a relational approach.

Simple to follow easy to listen to, funny and relatable anecdotes ideas easy to translate to your own life and parenting

Simple effective advice

Probably better suited to older kids. Also: vast majority of the examples seem to stem from the sphere of delinquency / really troubled kids from troubled families. Rather than the daily life of getting your kids to put shoes on in time for school. I would have liked it to be more useful and tangible too our situation. Also: I dislike the advice to have everything scripted and prepared, everything.
